Also I would appreciate it if you point me in the right direction, rather than giving me the answer outright, because I want to learn to become a better programmer

#

thats not a valid integer

vernal ermine Sep 4, 2022, 9:48 PM

#

I see, but thats not the issue

#

I am just testing my code, and want to fix my salary generator atm, that was just a placeholder value

lunar fossil Sep 4, 2022, 9:49 PM

#

    if (s.department = HR) {
        return 20000;
    }

#

bonus points if you use a switch case instead of ifelse

#

Just curious, why is it return in the function instead of reassigning the salary variable?

lunar fossil Sep 4, 2022, 9:50 PM

#

well because you assign it here Charles.salary = salaryGenerator(Charles);

Also, that did not seem to work for me, unless I did something wrong

#

wouldnt make much sense if you assign and change the struct

#

also youd have to pass it as a pointer

#

if you dont return

vernal ermine Sep 4, 2022, 9:52 PM

#

Even when returning my value is 0 though

lunar fossil Sep 4, 2022, 9:53 PM

#

do you know the difference between = and ==?

vernal ermine Sep 4, 2022, 9:54 PM

#

Ohhhhh

#

I was assigning instead of comparing

#

That went over my head, thank you for that

lunar fossil Sep 4, 2022, 9:55 PM

#

yea and that assigment just so happened to have a value of 0

#

because HR is the first identifier in enum

vernal ermine Sep 4, 2022, 9:55 PM

#

Damn, I didnt even think about why I was getting a 0 in the first place but that totally makes sense

#

Yep

#

HR just happens to be the first enumation which is 0

#

Thank you for your help nekro

#

I just started programming a few days ago so im very new to it all
